In the frame of the EVN series of talks focusing on the capabilities of VLBI, Marica Branchesi/INAF will give the talk “Exploring Multi-Messenger Astronomy by Current Observatories and Future Frontiers” on 6 May 2025, 14:00 CEST. The talk will trace the remarkable journey of multi-messenger astronomy, from its early, groundbreaking detections to its transformative impact [...]
The European Commission has launched two consultations on the future European Strategy for Artificial Intelligence in Science: a Call for Evidence, and a targeted questionnaire for researchers and the broader research and innovation community. The strategy will aim at accelerating the responsible use of Artificial Intelligence. Everyone interested can contribute to the Call for Evidence. Researchers and [...]

The 2025 Tycho Brahe Medal is awarded to Dr Karl-Friedrich Schuster, IRAM/France for his many contributions leading to advances in technology for millimeter astronomy and his leadership role in enabling the ambitious NOEMA upgrade. Read more.
ALMA Cycle 12 Call for Proposals (CfP) for scientific observations to be scheduled from October 2025 to September 2026 is open. For this CfP, the JAO anticipates having 4300 hours of approved science time on each of the 12-m, 7-m, and the Total Power arrays. Together, the 7-m Array and Total Power Array form the [...]
The first image from the international SKA Observatory’s telescope in Australia, SKA-Low, has been released on 17 March 2025 – a significant milestone in its quest to reveal an unparalleled view of our Universe. The image shows an area of sky of about 25 square degrees – equivalent to approximately 100 full Moons. In it [...]
Swirling through the Milky Way’s central zone, surrounding the supermassive black hole Sgr A*, dust and gases constantly churn as energetic shock waves ripple. An international scientific team using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) has sharpened our view of this action by a factor of 100, discovering a surprising new filamentary structure in this [...]
An international team of researchers used multi-wavelength observations of active galactic nuclei to study how black holes launch relativistic jets. The sixteen sources were observed with the Event Horizon Telescope during its first campaign in 2017. The extreme resolution achieved by the Event Horizon Telescope enabled studies of jets closer than ever to the central [...]
